More about this role

We’re building manipulation models for deploying general-purpose robots. Our data infrastructure generates rich, multi-modal human demonstration data at exponential scale. We use it to train manipulation models that work reliably across tasks, objects, and robot embodiments.

  • Evaluate our models on real robots in the lab and collect failure data to improve policies
  • Build sim evals with varied scenes and edge cases
  • Collect demonstration data with our capture hardware to fine-tune policies
  • Set up and maintain robot arms, grippers, cameras, and sensors
  • Hands-on time with real robot hardware, even if it was just a course project or a competition
  • Comfort debugging across the stack, from hardware and sensors to code to the model
  • Experience evaluating or running policies, ideally in robotics, VLAs, world models, or imitation learning
  • No aversion to unglamorous work, in robotics, research and debugging have to go hand-in-hand
  • A track record that shows you want to see robots work in the real world, projects, research,...
